145. 170.
170. Sounds familiar. Was it the people you were RPing with make you self conscious or other things? If the people are nice, you might not even have to leave. Just apologize and tell them what's going on. If it is a good group, they should be understanding.
Recently I fell off the face of the planet due to RL stuff. I neglected all my RPing ( and I am in two comms, technically three, and RP with another person off to the side. ) I'm the type of person that the longer I am away from something, the harder it is for me to get back into it since I start thinking everyone would be upset or annoyed with me. I finally just dove in. I had to. Some people were annoyed, sure, but mostly everyone has been fine. The community I am in that moves rather fast was really okay with it. I am still catching up, but. . .getting back on the horse you could say. *Shrugs*
If I know you, feel free to ramble at me?
170 OP
(Anonymous) 2008-08-27 02:46 am (UTC)(link)The community I was in is a fast paced community too, and I just left without warning (no hiatus post or dropping post). I started out with a legit excuse - I'd missed a few days for RL stuff but then I got nervous about trying to join back in, and the days turned into weeks, the weeks into months and, well, here I am now, I guess.
I feel dumb saying this even though it's anonymous and even though I don't think you know me, because it's just the internet, but it was a combination of the people I was RPing with and my own shortcomings that made me feel really self conscious. I'm easily intimidated in general and a big, fast-paced RP filled with fandom!people I recognized/respected was enough to scare me off, I guess.
I guess my problem now is the same problem that you were having. I don't want people to be annoyed at me, even though they would be completely right to. This isn't the first time I've done this, either, which makes me feel worse. But it is pretty ridiculous of me to keep avoiding RPs and fandom in general especially over something that might not even be a big deal.
Sorry about the tl;dr especially since, uh, I don't think I am who you think I am. Feel free to virtually hit me over the head for being so silly. :|
Re: 170 OP
I'm easily intimidated in general and a big, fast-paced RP filled with fandom!people I recognized/respected was enough to scare me off, I guess.
That is understandable, don't worry. If it makes you feel a little bit better ( in knowing you're not the only one even though it is just the internet ), the last comm I joined I had an anxiety attack over. I didn't know any of the people there and before, ever community or RP I joined I knew at least one person. I kept freaking out because I didn't know any of them and I was worried what they all might be like and of course, whether or not my personality would fit in with the lot. It wasn't easy.
If the people at your community wasn't treating you badly or anything and you are just intimidated by them and who they are. . .you might not have to leave. If you don't have one person there that you feel a little close to or comfortable with, try talking to one of the mods about this. Not that I have been in tons of comms or anything, but it is my experience that the mods are usually helpful and a bit understanding.
I mean, it isn't apathy that is holding you back. You are trying and that does say a lot. Being a newer RPer, I think most people are understanding of that too. I think the thing is, just keep trying. If you need to, maybe find a smaller community to join to get use to RPing and being in that setting.
And don't worry about the tl;dr thing. :3 Yeah, I don't think you are the person I was first thinking of. Which is fine. If you were, I was just going to smack them over IM and say "You made a F!S about this instead of just talking to one of us!?" Out of love of course! :D
